Mermaid pretending to be a mermaid

Lan Yu raised his head in surprise, facing a man's handsome face, under the slanted and straight sword eyebrows was a pair of golden eyes, black hair like ink, combed meticulously, smooth and fair skin, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a faint smile. A smile gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

The man wears a well-tailored three-piece suit, a standard Windsor collar, and a diamond tie clip, resembling a high-ranking man in power, out of step with this casual-themed street.

Lan Jiao was in a daze for a moment, then quickly calmed down, not at all confused by the man's handsome appearance, at this moment he only had one thought in his heart.

The fidelity of the virtual world is actually [-]%.

Suddenly bumped into the man's arms, hard, and his teeth almost hit his tie clip.

"Thank you." Out of politeness, Lan Sharma apologized to him, withdrew from his arms without a trace, and looked at the boy who didn't obey the traffic rules and was playing with a smart skateboard on the sidewalk.

The boy controlled the smart skateboard, turned around on purpose, walked around in front of the two of them, stretched out his fingers and shouted arrogantly at Lan Sharma: "Hey, I didn't really bump into you, so don't report me!"

Lan Jiao lowered her head and looked at the grinning junior high school student. She was less than 1.6 meters tall, but her arrogance was comparable to 1.8 meters.

"Report?" He was a little confused, and didn't understand the meaning of the boy's words for a while.

"He used a smart skateboard on the pedestrian street and violated traffic rules. As long as he reports it to the system, the system will punish him according to the degree of harm. For example, increase his anti-addiction time." Shengdao.

The junior high school student shrugged his shoulders, his scalp was numb from the man's golden eyes, he gritted his teeth, and apologized spinelessly to Lan Shark: "Yes...I'm sorry! I...I didn't do it on purpose! I won't do it again in the future. ! Please don't report me!"

Lan Jiao wouldn't care about a junior high school student, although he looked unwilling, but he was willing to apologize and admit his mistakes, so he was barely a good boy.

"Be careful next time," he said.

As soon as the junior high school student heard that he accepted his apology, he immediately stepped on the smart skateboard and slipped away.

Lan Jiao looked at the little back who was going away, speechless.

The man next to him slowly dragged out the control interface, took a picture of the junior high school student's back, and clicked a button to report.

Seeing this, Lan Jiao asked in surprise, "Didn't you say...don't report it?"

The man put away the interface and smiled like a sly fox: "He only asked for your forgiveness."

Lan Shark opened his mouth, speechless.Because he was the person involved, the junior high school student apologized to him, but ignored the "passerby".

The man continued: "If I hadn't held you just now, you would have been knocked to the ground by him. In serious cases, you might have broken a few ribs. The virtual world is [-]% realistic, and all pain will be reflected in you Physically."

Blue Shark frowned slightly.

Even after reading the novice guide, there are still many rules of the virtual world that are not well understood.

A broken rib is equivalent to a tenth level of pain, and if it is reflected in the real body, it is really terrible!

Lan Jiao looked up at the man and thanked him again, although if he didn't help just now, she could easily avoid it.

"You're welcome." The man said, "It's fate to meet each other. My name is Qin Mo. Can I add a friend?"

Blue Shark hesitated.

Real-name management is implemented in the virtual world, and all logged-in netizens must use their real names and ID cards. Adding friends is equivalent to becoming real friends.

Lan Jiao didn't want to have too much contact with humans, but looked at the man's sincere golden eyes, and agreed to the man's request.

"My name is Lan Lan." He reported his ID number.

Add friends, and the address book will automatically display each other's basic information, such as race, gender, and age.

Lan Jiao stared at Qin Mo's age in surprise.

780 five years old?

He blinked.

This age is a long life among human beings. People with mental power below level five will be old after five hundred years. The man in front of him is still young, with smooth skin like a young man in his early twenties.

Could it be...he adjusted his appearance data?

For example, he changed race and hair and eye color.

Probably!

Thinking that the other party is an "grandfather", Lan Jiao looked at him with more respect.

"Are you a mermaid?" Qin Mo obviously also read the race in the blue shark's message.

"Yes." Lan Shark admitted frankly, "I want to experience the feeling of having legs when I enter the virtual world."

Qin Mo asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Blue Shark said: "Great!"

It is much more convenient to use the legs than the tail on land.Mermaids are amphibians, and their ancestors must have discovered this advantage before they evolved the ability to freely switch legs and tails.

"Where are you going?" Qin Mo pointed to Lan Shark's side.

Lan Jiao looked down, only to realize that the situation was urgent just now, and the virtual map had been hanging in the air and forgot to turn it off.Thinking of the age of the other party, he should be an "veteran player" in the virtual world. He asked, "Uncle Qin, do you know the temple of the Tanit tribe? I heard that there is a pilgrimage tonight, so I want to go and have a look."

In fact, Lan Jiao wanted to call Grandpa Qin, but considering that the other party deliberately made himself younger, maybe he didn't like others calling him "grandpa".

The change of his address made Qin Mo frowned, and he said with emphasis: "Call me Qin Mo."

Blue Shark was confused.It seems that the other party is very concerned about his age.

"Okay, Qin...Brother Qin."

Calling him by his name is too abrupt, why not call him brother!

It's just... Brother Qin sounds weird?

Lan Jiao was momentarily caught in a tangle.

The corner of Qin Mo's mouth raised slightly, as if he was very satisfied with this title.

"The Temple of the Tanit Tribe is in the city of Jotham, and it takes at least ten teleportation arrays to go from here."

The virtual world is very large, accommodating the entire interstellar human beings. As long as the server and system are smart enough, the boundaries can be infinitely expanded.After thousands of years, with the continuous upgrading of the system, the structure of the virtual world has become more and more perfect, and some magic and supernatural powers that exist in the story have been realized here.

Teleportation array is one of them.

There are teleportation arrays between cities, as long as you pay some money, you can teleport.

Blue Shark entered Jotan City in the search box of the map, and found the route he wanted to teleport. "Thank you, Brother Qin, I have to go."

In two minutes it will be nine o'clock, and the pilgrimage of the Tanit tribe will begin.

Qin Mo said, "I happen to be going to Jotan City on business, why don't I take you there?"

Lan Jiao nodded: "Then I'll trouble Brother Qin."

Qin Mo smiled, his golden eyes shining brightly.

The teleportation array is faster than imagined, a real teleportation, pay enough money, choose the right route, step into the array, and reach the destination in a few seconds.

As soon as Lan Shark stepped out of the teleportation array, Diana's text message arrived.

[Diana: Ahhhhhh, I'm sorry, Teacher Lan!I'm delayed because of something, so I'm online!Where are you now?I'll go find you! 】

Lan Xia replied: I have already arrived in Jotan City, I will go to the church by myself in a while, you don't need to come to me specially.

After sending the message, he said to the man beside him, "Brother Qin, I'm leaving first... goodbye."

Qin Mo said gently: "Goodbye, I will contact you when I have time."

"Okay." Lan Yu waved at him and left in a hurry.

Qin Mo stood where he was, quietly watching his receding figure.

Simo, disguised as earrings, asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't you want to go together?"

"No need." Qin Mo withdrew his gaze, walked to a place with few people, and went offline directly.

When he went online again, he changed his identity and image, and appeared in the rest room of the Tenet Sanctuary.

Eleanor, who was waiting outside the lounge door, heard the notification that the Holy Bishop was online, knocked lightly on the door, and asked respectfully, "Holy Master, are you there?"

The gorgeous door opened automatically, and the blond-haired and white-robed Tennet Pope walked out of the lounge gracefully, and nodded slightly to Eleanor.

"Let's go." He said softly.

"Yes, Holy Master!" Eleanor took a step back, clenched the ruler in her hand, suppressed her excitement, and followed step by step.

The ten-year pilgrimage is about to begin. Countless Taniters went online early, put on unique and colorful national costumes, gathered in the square of the church, kneeled on the ground in an orderly manner, and waited patiently for the Holy Bishop. Pray for blessings and atonement to the great Tenet gods.

More than 700 years ago, the Tenet tribe scattered all over the interstellar had to make a pilgrimage to the temple of Aditai, which was not only time-consuming but also labor-intensive. Some tribesmen living in remote planets could not even afford a spaceship to go there and back.

Since Mijia Luo became the Holy Bishop and Queen, the rules within the clan have been reformed, and all Tenet clansmen only need to enter the virtual world to complete the pilgrimage.

Although some die-hard conservatives believed that such a pilgrimage could not pay respect to the gods and strongly opposed it, many Taniters who were blessed and hopeful for the future absolutely supported the leadership authority of the Holy Bishop Pope, their arms could not twist their thighs, The conservatives had no choice but to swallow their anger.

"Great Holy Lord, please bless me and my family with good health, long life and wealth!"

"O merciful gods, forgive me my transgressions, and grant me abundant grace, mercy, and peace—"

"Holy Lord, you are the lamp before my feet and the light on my path. I will always follow you to a bright future!"

……

Lan Jiao followed Diana to the church, and was shocked when she saw a large crowd of people in the square, and almost had trypophobia.

so many people!

So many people!

All the Tannets in the interstellar are dispatched, right?

There are millions if not tens of millions.

Fortunately, the sanctuary square was big enough to accommodate so many people at the same time, but they arrived late, so they could only line up at the back, and they couldn't even see the spire of the sanctuary clearly, let alone worship the Holy Bishop.

As an outsider, Lanmao did not wear the national costume of the Tanit tribe, which frequently attracted attention.

Diana said apologetically: "Non-Tannetts can only watch here."

Lan Jiao shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's fine here, you can go find your family!"

Diana wore a beautiful national costume, lifted her skirt and gave an elegant lady's salute to Lan Jiao, and ran towards the crowd excitedly.

Lan Jiao stood on a small platform at the back of the square, with his hands in his jeans pockets, watching quietly.

It's incredible.

In the interstellar era with such advanced technology, there are still so many human beings who believe in gods. They kneel down devoutly and pray for the blessing of unknown gods.

Perhaps, in that cruel era of war, only with faith and hope can we survive better!

Blue Shark checked the history of the Tenet tribe and found that it is a cohesive nation that once conquered half of the interstellar world. Unfortunately, the cruel ruler eliminated all dissidents and massacred the non-Tennet tribe. To the people's fierce resistance, the regime was eventually overthrown.

The people's hatred of the ruler extended to the ordinary Taniters. For a long time, the Taniters became street rats that everyone shouted and beat, and their numbers dropped sharply. They fled to the backward and poor primitive planet to survive. Almost to the point of genocide.

Some extreme Taniters were unwilling to fall from the altar to the quagmire, and degenerated into interstellar terrorists, more rampant than interstellar pirates.

Interstellar pirates mainly seek money, and they kill for pleasure.

After the Atlantis Empire unified the interstellar world, the extremists of the Tenet tribe became more active.

They believed that Meth Garr had stolen the fruits of victory, that a man of unknown origin and without any noble blood was not qualified to sit on the throne.

The military severely cracked down on the terrorist attacks of the Tanet extremists, not only did not suppress the flames of war, but aroused the anger of ordinary Taniters.

The stalemate lasted for more than 300 years, until the Holy Bishop appeared more than 700 years ago, conquered the Tenet tribe with miracles, guided them to the right path, and ended the civil war.

The Pope established the Tenet commandment to punish and restrict those extremists who violated the will of the gods, and reached an agreement with the government. The Tenet is willing to become a citizen of the Atlantis Empire and enjoy equal freedom like other ethnic minorities rights and obligations.

Michael’s approach did not go well at first, but when the lives of the Tennets improved and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, without being discriminated against, his prestige was unshakable.

Looking at the grand occasion in front of him, Lan Jiao became more and more curious about the Holy Lord Micah Luo.

How can we lead a nation that is about to perish out of the predicament and run towards prosperity?

The future of the merman race was uncertain, and the burden of thriving the group rested on him alone. Even if he found [-] merman eggs, he was not sure enough to continue the group.

Three hundred mermaid eggs, too little, too little.

are endangered species.

Lan Jiao has no confidence in whether he can become a qualified shark king and lead the group out of the predicament.

If Bixiao was still there, he would definitely do better, right?

He was dejected, and his hands in his trouser pockets couldn't help clenching into fists.

"Hi, are you a friend or relative of the Tenet tribe?"

A playful voice interrupted his thoughts, Lan Shark turned his head to meet a round smiling face.

The girl saw Lan Shark's face clearly, "Wow", and couldn't help but praise: "You are so handsome!"

Blue Shark: "...Thank you."

It was the first time that someone called him handsome in person.

"Actually, I wanted to say I'm pretty, hahaha, but boys don't seem to like being praised for being pretty." The round-faced girl winked at him.

Lan shark was silent, not knowing how to answer.

He has always been unable to resist enthusiastic girls. When he was in college, he often had school girls who sent him love letters and asked him out for dinner, but he declined them all. Over time, he became the legendary "Flower of Gaoling" ", and then, the person who sent him the love letter was replaced by a junior.

Of course, Lan Jiao refused even more simply, and was ridiculed by her roommates for not knowing the blessings in her body.

The blue shark lowered its eyes.

Since it is impossible to have a deep friendship with humans, it is better to keep a distance from the beginning.

Hello, I am good, everyone is good.

The round-faced girl was a familiar person, and she said carelessly, "Don't mind me! My brother often scolds me for being outspoken, but I just follow my heart and tell the truth."

Lan Jiao glanced at her and said, "Following one's heart is very rare."

The round-faced girl's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "You're such a nice person!"

Being issued a good person card out of nowhere, Lan Sharma felt embarrassed, and turned to look in the direction of the church. The Tennet tribe members in the square knelt down excitedly, as if they were welcoming someone.

The round-faced girl sensed that the pretty young man was shy, so she pursed her lips and smiled, clasped her hands on her chest, and looked forward with her face up, her eyes showing expectation.

"Thanks to a friend, I got an invitation letter to participate in the pilgrimage of the Tenni tribe. In fact, I am an atheist." She sighed softly, but for some reason, she was full of desire to talk to a stranger, "Since my brother disappeared, I Just keep praying, if there is really a god in the world, please bless him safe and sound, and come back soon!"

Lan Yu was slightly surprised, and looked sideways at her.

The girl reversed her optimism just now, with a sad expression on her face, reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth, and said, "Many people told me that he was dead, but I just don't believe it! My brother is very strong, and he has been selected to become a mech warrior. He will never be easily Throw your life in an alien galaxy."

Lan Jiao didn't know how to comfort a stranger, so he could only say the same thing: "No news is the best news."

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes! I think so too! No matter how powerful the Orpheus beasts are, humans have defeated them!"

Orpheus beast?

Lan shark was startled, thinking of the alien monster that fell from the sky during the catastrophe of the 21st century.

On the way to the deep sea, he killed some. He was really strong, but he was no match for the Merman.When he woke up after sleeping for 5000 years, the world changed drastically. A certain substance carried by Orpheus affected the genes of all creatures on the earth, including mermans.

The extermination of the mermen is closely related to this substance.

Now, after thousands of years of survival of the fittest on the earth, everything has reached a balance, and the influence of this substance on the mermaids seems to have disappeared.

At least from waking up until now, Blue Shark's body has not experienced any discomfort. On the contrary, with the intake of a large amount of "Pa substance", the mental power is stronger and more solidified, and there is a faint tendency to improve.

However, during this time he was busy making money and didn't pay much attention to other news. Did he not know that the Orpheus beast was still active in the interstellar and attacked the human planet?

The girl's brother is a soldier, so he must go to protect the lives and property of the interstellar people!

Lan Jiao was in awe, and said sincerely: "Your brother will definitely return safely!"

The round-faced girl opened her eyes wide in surprise.Even relatives and friends advised her to recognize the facts and give up illusions, but strangers gave her blessings.Sure enough, it is the right choice to come to the Tenet for pilgrimage!

"Thank you! You're such a nice guy!"

Being issued a good person card again, Lan Yu smiled.

The round-faced girl praised again: "You have a beautiful smile!"

Lan Yu instantly suppressed her smile, coughed twice, and looked away.

There was loud cheers from the church, and the Pope, the Holy Bishop who was worshiped by the Tenet tribe, seemed to come out.

Too bad it's too far away to see clearly.

"Ahhh! The Pope is out! Look, there is a holographic picture on it!" The round-faced girl excitedly pushed Lan Shark's arm.

Her strength was great, and someone else would have been pushed and fell down. Fortunately, Lan Shaw's foot was steady and she remained motionless.

He looked up, looking at the sky.

A holy ball of light suddenly appeared, bursting with soft light, spreading to the entire square, the light gradually disappeared, and a holographic picture appeared, the gorgeous church stood in the air, mysterious and solemn, the steps were covered with red carpets, and priests in white robes Holding different scepters in their hands, they stood solemnly on both sides of the steps.

The blond Pope, who was dressed in exquisite and holy white robes, walked gracefully to the throne surrounded by the saints. He slightly raised his right hand to signal to the Tennets kneeling in the square.The holographic picture perfectly presents his appearance. Everyone can clearly see the Pope's flawless face. His blue eyes are clearer than the sky. I want to worship him in my heart.

Lan Xiong heard her "thump, thump" heartbeat, as if infected by the high emotions around her, her body tensed up, her eyes stared blankly at the sky, unable to move away.

At this moment, he finally understood the girl's thoughts.

As long as you have hope in your heart, anything is possible!

If there is a god in the world, he also wants to pray.

May the merman race last forever and have a bright future...
